Push Sleep Away

solid tiredness weighs on eyelids and fingers electric suns stay bright while dawn mists behind the blinds many hours spent, or wasted, it can seem the same and your bed is calling you by name. waking dreams... crawling dust and shadows pin ****** of sound, like creaking, or alien birds in the sky outside a universe, or inside a star, body-less move toward danger, curious and careless. resistance is a game, a futile pull towards control don't care what the day is, time is nothing in the mind burning fuel to warm myself, books of the past but some day, not this one, will be my last.
